Great Castle/Spooky Hotel in Ireland or Scotland?
Hi,
Does anyone know of and/or stayed at a great castle or hotel with a few haunting claims about it?
Not over the top scary, but we're looking for a great place to stay for a short trip of 4 to 5 days within driving distance of Shannon, Dublin or Glasgow.
Thanks!

Dornoch castle hotel http://www.dornochcastlehotel.com/
has a ghost.
It's suppose to date back to the 15th century, so it may well have several.
The Mansfield Castle hotel in Tain is a modern Victorian castle, but looks the part.

It is supposed to have the ghost of a former owner, a rather nice old lady.

Castle Leslie in County Monaghan. Authentic, old, and there is a ghost story connected to it.
There's a bit about it in the DVD Ghost Hunters. We very much enjoyed our night there. Food was wonderful, and the rooms were, well, different.

Stevelyon: Do you mean Castle Campbell (not <i>Dollar</i> Castle)? It is in Dollar Glen and is definitely a place to see.
I think Dunnottar Castle would be close to the top of the list . . . . .

or Slains

Or Huntly

But all of the above are ruins and you can't stay over.
I might think about staying at Traquair House

You guys are great and we appreciate the suggestions and humor!
Loved the ones...
Michael Jackson ...made hubby laugh
You have been warned... cracked kids up.
Scary price... made me laugh and shriek in fear.
Cute and thanks for the suggestions! We are likely to fly in to Glasgow or Edinburgh, as it turns out. -Easier to use our frequent flier miles to those!
Thanks again and keep it up!
